Lacy Easter Eggs

These eggs are adapted from the Lacy Flower above. Available with either a circular or oval center, in an assortment of spring colors (below). You can choose to make the center four rows the same color as the main threads or different for an accent. The accent color looks especially nice with the circular center, which can look like a flower. Choose the circle or oval, plus main and accent colors of Lizbeth thread for your kit. (628 is a little more peachy than in the photo.) See the Gallery for a few more of the 100 possible color combinations. Level 3.

Two Snowflakes

Snowflakes

The Crystal snowflake is a good beginner project with its easy, bold woven spikes.

Cosy - how is a snowflake cosy? It's made with soft pearl cotton instead of Lizbeth and reminds me of a soft blanket of snow or a warm sweater.
Level 1 ~ 3.25 inches (8.25 cm) ~ 10.00 USD
